Babies on Mushrooms
    #19153252 - 11/18/13 09:05 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So i had a thought this morning and i wanted to share it with you guys and see what you think. So if you're a Terrence Mckenna theory believer/follower like myself, you believe that part of the spark in our early human evolution may have been the enzyme of psilocybin. Now when i first thought about this i only envisioned adults incorporating this new food into their diet, but what about the infants? Did the adults think it might be ok to give this strange altering substance to their young ones? How do you think psilocybin might effect a 1 year old? Idk but i find this interesting as i only know adults and teens who partake in this. All thoughts are welcome.

Well.. besides his ideas being, well... ideas... Not really theories cause their is no basis behind them...
I doubt any sacred mushrooms were given to infants... Can't see even children taking part in the ceremonies... 

Babies and small children are pretty much developing so quickly that they are always pretty much trippn.... Fairy tails, make believe, etc... Until we shut off true imagination in favor of ego

Just my thoughts

Baby's are not even the size of small children, so compare a baby to an adult who has a hard time coping with even marijuana, coffee or MUSHROOMS (which is fucking insanity for even adults), if your mind is not fully developed and you give a baby mushrooms, I don't even know what what would happen, but it wouldn't be good.

Dont think babies, but i'm pretty sure young adults participate in ayuasca  (i'll never learn how to spell that) ceremonies once they reach a certain age or something. Probably no different back then.

Like LX7 said; Ayahuasca is taken by children in native circles.  Perhaps a sip of mushroom tea was shared with the young as a religious thing; who knows. 

It seems like it could be cruel, what if a baby has a bad trip? 

But what are bad trips?  Bad thoughts?  Does a baby yet even know such things?

The (correct) mushrooms are physically safe;  I imagine this has happened at some point: just like ancestor babies eating some mushrooms they find as they crawl around on the ground.

Babies are developing psychologically every second of their infancy, always making progress in growing that brain of theirs. So if the psilocybin brought on a traumatic experience, it could fuck that child's brain up for life. Haven't you heard of people having terrible experiences at a very young age and it changing their overall behavior and personality for ever? Such as an outgoing, happy, laughing baby going from that to a reserved, shy, almost empty personality. And not to mention what psilocybin could do to their underdeveloped receptors. Sure it's practically harmless to adults, who brains aren't still being created in a sense, but it could alter the way their brains are made. I don't even for sure if it would effect their brains in a negative physical way though, im just assuming. So all in all, i'd say it's too risky, haha.

I know in the 60s people gave their kids LSD.  Not sure of the reprocussions though.

There are shamans and others that were given ayahuasca as young as 12, thats not a baby but it's young.

I don't believe our ancestors were feeding their infants psychoactive mushrooms because i don't think a baby would care to eat them. Plus why would the new borns need to eat psychoactive mushrooms? Their parents should have enough psilocybin in their diet to watch over their child with that acute visibility.

I really see no reason why they would feed anyone mushrooms within their first few years of life, i'm sure it has happened but I can't think of a reason to do this.

But once the young are running around on their own and have joined the tribe then I can see them getting the mushroom. There are several living cultures that practice this today with iboga and ayahuasca/dmt snuffs.

btw the mushrooms are living alien artifacts that act as an antenna for mammalian nervous systems in order to pick up the chatter of some near by ragging universe. For all those that didn't know

It might be bad for human babies today. the true story is monkey babies ate the mushrooms and gained a human intellect while the adult monkeys only had bad trips. when all the adult monkeys died, only the monkey with human intellect were left. This theory is true because scientists have found that babies are 15 times more open to new ways of thinking than adults.

Well thats the thing, if food resources were low in their environment, they would be limited to what food they could eat and feed their children. Remember labels are something we've done as a progressing human species but back then, they didnt call them psychoactive substances, psilocybin, or even mushrooms at the time. They probably just though of it as a food source with mysterious effects. If food was low and mushrooms were the only food available, why wouldn't they feed them to their children?

We didn't evolve from Monkeys but shared a common ancestor with Apes. You could argue that early man may have eaten mushrooms which helped them discover an after life and burrying their dead. Inspired cave drawings and art... But i doubt that eating musrooms triggered an evolutionary change...

Seen it in several documentaries and read it in atleast one book.  I don't have any actual direct sources but im sure you could find info on it easy enough.
